Warren Sharp: NFL draft warning re QB evaluation process.
BuffaloBillyG replied to PIZ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The most interesting thing to me there is it took a pro staff a couple of years to figure out that Boller was bad. -
If Bills Get to Pick #2 Overall, Who Do You Take?
BuffaloBillyG replied to Fadingpain's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would select Mason Rudolph. Just to see the meltdown here. Hopefully Beane doesn't come here and want to do the same. -
Report: Bills Unlikely to Trade Up to No. 2 - Rapoport
BuffaloBillyG replied to sven233's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Welp. Onto next draft then... "RESTOCK FOR LOCK" -
Yup, good QBs put up good QBR. And that's wonderful. But again, to cherry pick a stat that is outdated is just not a good argument. If you want to line it up with guys that had the top QBR that season also winning a Super Bowl...great. Valid. To talk about career QBR? Flimsy at best. Here's a list of the top 20 all time. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_rating_career.htm Notice that 11 of the 20 on this list never won a Super Bowl. Also if you talk QBR understand that it get convoluted after time. Ryan Tannehill has a higher QBR than Dan Marino. So he would be the best Dolphin QB of all time? Also notice that what that what was posted on here was altered by count. Montana is 13th in QBR but somehow ends up 10th on his list.

4-23: Brandon Beane on One Bills Live
BuffaloBillyG replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have sources that can confirm Jaime is Flo's love child with the "Can you hear me now" guy. And they are buying all kinds of land in south Buffalo. -
Now that's not just dense it's just plain dumb. If give you it's the most important..but far from the only position that matters. Instead of looking at a cherry picked and outdated metric look at the sum of the parts. There is a reason that QBs like Rivers and Luck haven't won a Super Bowl. There's a reason why Brees and Rodgers have each won 1 despite being like all-time greats. You have to build a roster. I said earlier...I do agree we need that top guy. And the sooner the better. But to think that a QB is all that matters is just plain wrong. And if all you have is that QB and he goes down (and he eventually will if you don't have blocking for him...but I guess Oline doesn't matter) what do you have then? The Colts and Pack were good examples of that this year.

You have to build a roster to compete. For how great Rodgers and Brees have been they've each won it all once. Why is that do you think? Being that we have lacked a real franchise QB it's really easy to say "ZOMG IFL WE AD ONE SUPER BOWL EVERY YEAR"... But honestly that is far from the truth. You need a top QB but you also have to surround him with talent. And this just in..it takes more than 1 off-season to get it done. I agree though, if we don't get that top guy this year with all the guys coming out and all the assets we have it'd be a shame.

Tyrod Taylor turning heads in Cleveland.
BuffaloBillyG replied to PIZ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I totally get that, even said so in a post above. He's a good get for a team that needs SOMETHING safe at the position. He's no longer term answer and he needs a lot of help from a strong defense and a strong running game. But he's a nice football player. -
GMFB talk Bills draft (how to get QB)
BuffaloBillyG replied to BillsFan8083's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is where I've been for a while now. This team isn't a QB away from constant playoff seasons. Where we are at now we need that QB, but also 2 solid drafts and a nice FA crop between them. Beane will make a move IMO but he is building a team and needs to find the best value. Thursday can't come soon enough. -
Desperate teams pay desperate prices. The thing I worry about is Arizona knows what we CAN offer. So any deal they propose has to be a lights out deal. Talking a 1,2,3 this year plus some next year type deal. I believe Beane wants to trade but has a firm grasp on the price he would pay and won't give much over that. He just seems like the kind of GM that wants the best value out of each pick.

My Mock with realistic trade scenarios
BuffaloBillyG replied to D521646's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So, the opportunity to draft any of the top QBs and the Browns pull a Mulligan and go with Jackson? C'monnnn Maaaannnn Lauletta in the 1st round? "Realistic" -
That's what I figured you meant. But just wanted to clarify. Fwiw, I'm a big "fit" guy. You could have the best player in the world but if he's in a bad situation it increases his chances to fail. All I can think of with Rosen in NY (Mayfield as well) is that the media in NY is relentless. I can see them creating issues by baiting Rosen for quotes easily. Controversial statements create cash. That was sooooo 2 weeks ago.
-
Oh, I'm with you on Ragnow. I'd even move up in round 2 to get him. But right now with what we have on the roster if (and it's a huge if) we have a pick at 22 it has to be a LBer. There are a few that will be there that will be great picks. Curious to hear why you think that? A disaster for who? The Bills? Jets? Rosen?

It's not jealousy in the least. Yes, at the end of the day it will likely work out for them and that's super. They will get someone they want at a higher price then if they stood still and watched the draft unfold and make a deal according to what happened. In all likelihood, they will come away with Baker Mayfield imo. And that's a good return. Then we all get to see how the ensuing Baker Vs NY Media plays out. That should be entertaining to watch.
